Description

Epic Arena is a free-to-play turn-based strategy game. It is a tactical combat game where two players engage in alternating turn-by-turn multiplayer matches. Alternatively, players may learn strategies by completing tactical puzzles as single-player missions. At the beginning of a match, players must choose one of three available teams, which are Chaos, Order, and Pirates, all featuring unique units, spells, and team strategies.

In Epic Arena, the players' goal is to either eliminate all of the enemy player's units or to destroy all of the enemy player's artifacts on the hexagonal tile map.

In 1v1 multiplayer matches, 2 game modes are available:

Blitz mode (where player turns are time-limited and player actions cannot be undone)

Duel mode (players may take as long as they want for a turn, turns are submitted once a player has checked in his moves).

During matches, players may perform up to five actions during their turn. Available actions are: play (and thus use up) a card (spawn a unit, cast a buff on a friendly unit, cast a debuff on an enemy unit, cast a spell, use a power card), move a unit, and attack an enemy unit or artifact.

The amount of cards available to each player is limited (dependent on game mode, e.g. 30 cards per player in Duel Mode), yet can be extended slightly (e.g. five cards per player in Duel Mode) by the use of Power Cards that can be purchased by in-game currency or crafted by combining multiple power cards.

In-game currency can be acquired by gameplay (finish matches, complete daily quests or achievements) or by purchasing currency packs for real money. One-time purchasable customization options include team colors, avatar pictures, or additional team decks.
